Anyone make any of these and have any hints for me? Was thinkin maybe a shot right in front of the forward hook hanger.

Take a wide rubber band and use that to hold lead in place on the plug. Move the lead around until you get the action that you are after. Once you have the action down, mark the spot and drill for the lead. Make some notes so the next time that you do a similar plug you can weigh in the same location.
